Cathodic Protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. What is AC mitigation? AC mitigation is the process of designing and applying pipeline grounding systems to: • Prevent voltage spikes during fault conditions • Reduce AC current density to protect against AC induced corrosion • Maintain AC step and touch potentials below 15 Vac to protect personnel from shock hazards
